KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission (SC) will liberalise its rules to enable greater retail access in the corporate bond and sukuk market in Malaysia by the first quarter of 2018, says the regulator chairman Tan Sri Ranjit Ajit Singh.

"This involves reviewing the primary market issuance processes and disclosure requirements as well as expanding the range of corporate bonds and sukuk offered to retail investors," Ranjit says in his opening remarks at the Synergistic Collaborations by SC (SCxSC) here today.
